#greenscreen How many 'big #cities' are in your #state? This map shows the number of cities per state to have >100,000 residents. Now, unfortunately, in the #UnitedStates, we sorta have a problem with how we measure the 'size' of cities, since the city limits often don’t reflect the number of people who live AROUND a city, for example, the city of #Portland, #Maine, has 65,000 residents in the city itself, but the #metro has over 500,000 people. In fact, in #Delaware, #Vermont, and #WestVirginia, there are metro's above 100k (namely #Wilmington #DE, #Burlington #VT, and #Charleston and #Huntington #WV, respectively), whereas #Wyoming is the only state to arguably not have one, as the #Cheyenne metro (which is just #Laramie #County) only hit 100k in the last few years or so. #California, the most populous state, has the most cities this size at 75, naturally followed by the next most populous states of #Texas with 43, #Florida with 27, and #NewYork with 16, while #Arizona sneaks in at #5 thanks to the #Phoenix #metroarea having so many absurdly large suburbs. #Colorado is quite similar, as the #Denver metro has 8 suburbs over 100k. There are 8 states with only 1 city this large, and they are #Montana (#Billings), #NorthDakota (#Fargo), #SouthDakota (#SiouxFalls), #Hawaii (#Honolulu), #Alaska (#Anchorage), #NewHampshire (#Manchester), #RhodeIsland (#Providence), and perhaps surprisingly, the 33rd most populous state, #Mississippi, which only has #Jackson. If anything, this map is an interesting example of how maps are a useful tool for data manipulation, as the qualifications for this map are quite definition-based, and slightly misleading without the added context of what metro areas are. #geography #geographyjoe #states #usa #us #metropolitan #city #population #populationmap #ohio #massive

#greenscreen Another movement where part of one #state wants to break away and join a neighboring state, due to feeling unrepresented by their states politics. In #Illinois, 2/3 of the state lives in/around #Chicago, the nation's 3rd largest city with nearly 3 million residents. #Chicagoland, or the Chicago #metro within Illinois, makes up 2/3 of the state's #population, leaving the remaining 1/3 of Illinois (including #MetroEast, or #Madison and #StClair #county) feeling as though their interests are not represented politically. This is parallel to the #GreaterIdaho movement, where about 2/3 of #Oregon's land area wishes to secede from #OR and join #Idaho, as Idaho's politics better represent Eastern Oregon's local interests. While these things will likely never happen, its an interesting way to raise awareness of your dissatisfaction, threatening to bail on the polity altogether and join another out of spite. #IL #Chitown #Chi #Springfield #Portland #Boise #states #geography #geographyjoe #map #maps

#greenscreen A lot of people seem confused as to how the #California wildfires can be so destructive. Figured I’d chime in to show the #massive #population of #LACounty, which at 9,967,354 people, is the nation's most populous #county. More people live there than in the 40 least populous #states, or the 1200 least populous #counties. 3 million live in the city of #LosAngeles, but 7 million live in the rest of the county, in large cities like #LongBeach, #SantaClarita, #Glendale, #Lancaster, and #Palmdale, with #Malibu (15,000 population) being perhaps the most impacted non-LA city in the county. These are the worst fires in the history of the city, have claimed (so far) nearly a dozen lives, and anyone saying LA/CA 'deserve this' needs to look inward at why they’re celebrating the impending loss and devastation. #geography #geographyjoe #ca #cali #socal #fires #wildfires #populationmap #LosAngelesCounty #usa
